About Diane

Diane Sullivan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works from a person-centred approach and holds the NCPS credential. Diane focuses on helping people facing relationship challenges, grief, anxiety and the ripple effects of major life changes.

She supports people who have experienced trauma, bereavement, separation and infidelity. Diane also helps those coping with addiction, stress, low mood and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her work includes support for people affected by near-death experiences linked to illness or medical events.

Diane aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are adapted to each person's needs and paced around what feels manageable. She emphasises listening first and follows each person’s lead while offering practical ways to move forward.

In practice she helps clients talk through difficult feelings, understand patterns that cause pain, and try small changes that make daily life easier. Diane also supports people working through identity concerns, body image, attachment and caregiving stress. Her background informs a calm, steady approach rather than quick fixes.

People who choose Diane often want a space to be heard and to develop clearer next steps. Her person-centred style suits those who prefer collaboration and gentle guidance while they work through anger, grief or relationship strain. Contact details are available via the therapist’s own website.

How Diane’s person-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person is heard and understood. The therapist listens carefully and reflects back what is important, helping people feel seen and begin to make sense of difficult emotions such as anger, grief or anxiety.

This approach is useful for relationship struggles, coping with life changes, and processing trauma or loss. It aims to help people find their own solutions rather than imposing techniques, so it often suits those who want collaborative, paced support.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Diane will work with you to identify what helps best given your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the focus as things change over time.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the profile does not list formats. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer speaking rather than being on camera or who need flexibility around timings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help match format and pace to what works for you.
